1:22:00
But, hey,
I've been knocked down before.
1:22:04
We all have.
We get up.
1:22:06
We go on.
1:22:11
I think
that's what makes us great.
1:22:19
Everyone decided
to continue the expedition.
1:22:22
I think that after we'd
gotten over the initial shock,
1:22:26
"Titanic" did seem to become
important again.
1:22:28
Not so much for itself,
but as a symbol
1:22:31
of what can happen
when warnings go unheeded
1:22:34
and how I think
we all hope to face death
1:22:36
when it comes.
1:22:39
Archie Frost was
in the engine room that night.
1:22:43
Just barely into his twenties
1:22:46
and had worked
with Thomas Andrews
1:22:49
when the ship was being built.
1:22:51
After a certain point, Andrews
had come down and told them,
1:22:54
"The ship does not have
much time to live,
1:22:57
and if you stay here,
you will die. "
1:23:01
Archie Frost said,
1:23:02
"We'll stay here as long
as we need to be here. "
1:23:06
Those are the everyday heroes.
1:23:08
The people
who ran those machines,
1:23:10
kept the generators running,
1:23:12
and kept power
for the telegraph going,
1:23:14
who kept the crowds calm.
1:23:18
You find the ordinary hero
that was standing next to you.
1:23:34
When you see the stern
1:23:37
where 1, 500 people had died,
1:23:40
I don't really know
how to describe it.
1:23:50
You can't help
but be emotional.
1:23:52
There's no doubt
people were taken to the bottom
1:23:55
in the stern.
1:23:56
But they're no longer there.
1:23:58
Every trace
of their human existence
